Letter: Alliance helps give peace a chance

Posted

In honor of International Peace Day, a tip of my hat goes to the people of the Sakonnet Peace Alliance in Little Compton.

For more than 20 years, they have gathered in silent witness, calling awareness to the folly of violence.

Their presence on the Commons every Sunday morning reminds church goers and passersby about taking responsibility for creating a world free of armed conflict.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
